Just a dumb thing to do and especially 3 weeks out from finals. Not the right time to be out of the team. He may not get back in as someone may come in, step up and take there chance.

    What a nonsensical and unnecessary  thing to do. Poor leadership from our VC who is still struggling for form post a long injury lay-off. 
    As stupid as him trying to break 900 tackles a game. 
     

    Going straight to the tribunal. It’s a poor look and if the situation was reversed we would be livid.

    My god you need a break, go for a walk. Then poor a nice red and regain some perspective. 

     

    Why? I'm sick of his play.  Can't hit a target or shake a tackle.  Time to go

    This is going straight to the tribunal?

    It seems so.

    Charged with 'serious misconduct'.

    iirc being sent straight to the Tribunal means a suspension - just a matter of how many weeks.  Of course the club can appeal any suspension.

    It looked unprompted.  Jack had his elbow pushed into the kids neck for about 5 seconds.   And it was off the ball.

    Will be lucky to play Monday night.

    Absolutely deserves a week,  but the Selwood case earlier in the year sets a precedent really.  He got a $1500 fine from memory

    That’s not tough Jack, disappointing footage of a vice captain doing it.

    He’ll get a fine, after Buddy got off for his elbow, anything goes at the moment.

    AFL a bit soft on swinging elbows, but IF Jack was doing something that meant a player couldn’t easily breathe he’ll miss games and can only blame himself

    This league is a joke, the AFL should compensate us for wasting our time with this rubbish

    Why? He deliberately pushed his elbow into the neck of an opponent. It was not accidental, it was deliberate and dangerous. If someone did that to Oliver you would be calling for their head. 
    It is a totally unnecessary act when we try to protect the head. The intention behind it means he will get at least a week. So good luck to him getting back into the side.

    Will get 1-2 weeks. Stupid thing to do from Jack. Completely avoidable and unnecessary. We were belting them in a nothing match, no need to put pressure on someone’s throat and trash talk him.

    Take a few weeks off and try to get your old self back Jack.

    IQ on field and decision making are not a strong suit.. much better players to replace him..

    Ha true, but surely we go in with that footage and say well whats the difference.

    I think both incidents should be a game, they will all stop doing it if it is.

    Reckon we could mount an argument that Collins is pulling him down on him given he's pulling Viney down by the jumper with two hands.

    Really can't see the big deal on this one tbh.

    Buddy got cleared as previous similar offences got fines. Find a similar one that got a fine, Jack free to play. Simples.

    Silly from Jack but there’s nothing much in this. Players do this at training all the time 

    Collins doesn’t breathe from his ear hole.

    Straight to the MRP is an overreaction. Holding someone down even if it is with the elbow to the side of the head is not striking and does not have the same impact.

    Just stupid really.

    In a game where it was pretty much a training drill, I for the life of me cannot undertake why he he would do this act. Have a scuffle, yep go for it, stick up for mates etc. I have no issues with it.

    When you're deliberately putting pressure on someone's neck, it's simply not tough, it's stupis. Jack really does lack the common on field IQ at times.

    Cop what we need to and move on.

    Think your right and not a good look.

    Which video do you see?

    Collins looked lifeless to me for the 5 seconds Viney had him pinned down by the neck.

    No loss, just saved Goodwin the hassle of explaining to the media why he dropped his VC. Step up Vanders

    Vineys fall from grace continues, his form has gone down the Trengove path with his foot.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
